Chapter 2403 Romance

Bai Ruozhu was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the beautiful woman who was also a judge turned out to be the mother of the little girl named Axi. But if you think carefully about what Hui Zi said to Princess Ya'an, it is obvious that she is trying to discredit Axi. This is naked jealousy.

Beautiful women seem to have a high status in Kyoto, so it's not surprising that Keiko would be jealous of Aki.

Bai Ruozhu didn't chat much with the people on the stage, trying to get some words out of them, fearing that she might have already alerted the enemy if she didn't get the appropriate information.

Soon the Tang Feng poetry meeting began and the girls all took their seats. Bai Ruozhu took a look and saw that Fangzi was with Yizi and Feng Lanying. She didn't come too close. She obviously didn't care much about the results of the competition. Huizi, on the other hand, was sitting with Princess Ya'an with a bruised nose and face. There were no other friends of hers around, and it seemed that Princess Ya'an was cold and arrogant.

Bai Ruozhu pursed her lips and smiled softly, pretending not to know anything.

Soon, the female teacher stood up, announced the start of the competition, and explained the rules and links of the competition. There was some discussion after this, and it turned out that there were some changes in the rules this time.

"It was an old rule in the past, why did it change this year? It wasn't the female official from Danliang who mentioned it, right?" Huizi mentioned to Princess Ya'an in a low voice that she didn't know Bai Ruozhu could hear her, and thought Bai Ruozhu didn't know her. An act of deliberate hatred.

It stands to reason that Bai Ruozhu and Hui Zi have no grievances. Hui Zi should not find trouble with Bai Ruozhu, but Bai Ruozhu and Fangzi just got together. This made Hui Zi very unhappy. It seemed that she was afraid that Bai Ruozhu would have the opportunity to gain Princess Ya'an's trust. It would be better to look back. Help Yoshiko turn over.

Bai Ruozhu suddenly looked towards Huizi. Huizi met Bai Ruozhu's eyes just after he finished speaking, and was frightened. She couldn't possibly hear her thoughts when she was so far away, right?

Princess Ya'an also noticed Bai Ruozhu's gaze, and whispered: "Don't make wild guesses. She has only been here a few days, so it shouldn't be the case."

Huizi probably had a guilty conscience, and the following words were spoken in Fusang dialect. Bai Ruozhu heard it a little vaguely, so she simply ignored it.

Although the girls didn't like the change of format this year, they also knew that nothing could be changed and quickly became quiet.

The poetry meeting here can be said to be very simple. The first step is to draw lots to compose poems. It is said that in the past, one of the judges drew a topic, and everyone worked together to write a poem on that topic. But this time it is not the case. Instead, the contestants draw their own poems. Write a poem about something.

There are four topics in the lottery, namely wind, flower, snow and moon. Bai Ruozhu's lips twitched when she heard that Fusang people actually used "风花雪月" like this.

Soon the girls below had finished drawing, and the time given to them to compose poems was not long. The time was controlled by an hourglass. The girls below all took pens and papers to ponder, while the judges on the stage started chatting when they had nothing to do.

"Your Axi really has a solid foundation. He figured it out so quickly." The female gentleman praised with a smile.

The beautiful woman pursed her lips and smiled, nodding politely to express her gratitude, "She just has a soft temper, and her poems are a bit mediocre and not grand enough. I love the works of the Central Plains poet Li Bai the most. The boldness and freeness are really unforgettable for me."

"You can't blame Miss Aki for this. It's better for women to be gentle." The leader on the side said, his smile was a bit charming.

The beautiful woman raised her eyebrows, "Who said women have to be gentle? Look at Master Bai, she is very skilled in martial arts and has won face for us women."

Bai Ruozhu didn't want them to talk about him, so he smiled and nodded, "Madam, you're welcome, I just learned some self-defense techniques."

"Mr. Bai came from the Central Plains. Is there any literati's poetry that you can share with everyone recently?" The female gentleman looked eager, and she seemed to be really interested in the poetry of the Central Plains.

Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and then read a poem by her second brother. The eyes of the other three people lit up when they heard it.

"This poem is so artistic. I wonder which scribe wrote it?" the beautiful woman asked happily.

"It was written by my brother. I also like this song, so I shamelessly told it to everyone." Bai Ruozhu replied with a smile.

The leader glanced at Bai Ruozhu lightly, and Bai Ruozhu quickly noticed the displeasure in his eyes. It seemed that although this man was handsome and talented, he was not broad-minded enough.

"Master Bai's brothers are so outstanding, how about Master Bai's poetry?" the leader suddenly asked, but before Bai Ruozhu could answer, he continued: "Master Bai can be sent by the emperor to be the judge of this poetry competition. , I guess he is also very accomplished in poetry."

Huh, this is to inspire her to write poetry. Would she just write a poem just because of a few words from a peacock man?

Of course, she didn't like to compose poems either. If she had to do it, she would just steal one from her memory. This was not her favorite way.

Therefore, Bai Ruozhu said with a smile: "You are wrong about this. My brother is good at writing, but I am a martial artist and really bad at writing poems. I disappoint you."

The female gentleman hurriedly reconciled and said, "Even if Mr. Bai is not good at writing poetry, he is well-informed. I will trouble you to evaluate it for the girls later."

"Sir, you are too polite. I would rather obey your orders than be respectful." Bai Ruozhu said to the female gentleman with a smile without looking at the leader.

The beautiful woman couldn't see the Ji Feng inside, but she didn't help Bai Ruozhu or the leader. She just looked down with a smile, as if she didn't hear anything.

Finally, time is over and the girls below have all completed their poems.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at Fangzi's poem. It was really simple and almost turned into a limerick. No wonder the little girl said she couldn't write poetry.

However, there are many women whose poems are like this. It is considered good for Fuso people to have such a level.

Soon, some of the better poems were picked out. Bai Ruozhu glanced at them, and among them, the poems by Axi, Huizi and Princess Ya'an were the best.

The beautiful woman on the stage noticed Huizi's face and asked in surprise: "Huizi, what's wrong with you?"

Huizi stood up, bowed obediently, and said, "I didn't know why I fell down at the door just now. Although it looks a bit ugly, I didn't want to give up halfway, so I came here shamelessly."

"You girl is really distressing. You need to see a doctor later." The beautiful woman said with concern.

The smile on Bai Ruozhu's face became a little thicker. The beautiful woman's concern did not seem to be fake. She probably didn't know that Huizi was plotting against her daughter. Of course, Bai Ruozhu didn't think Huizi could deceive a beautiful woman at her age. It could only be that Huizi had just started to dislike Axi and started to smear Axi, otherwise the beautiful woman would have seen through it long ago.

"It's really rare to be able to persevere." The female gentleman's eyes were full of admiration, and she thought she would give "Strong Huizi" a higher score when she was evaluated later.
